In particular, Ewen Bremner as Coco Bryce is vitally funny as the raver transplanted into the body of a bourgeoise baby, and assertively foul in a well-needed antidote to the all-too-kind doormat in the preceding story. This movie will enver be in Bosley Carrothers' collection of Fifty Great Movies, but it's good watching for a late night, a lazy afternoon, or a busy Friday evening with the mates.
